Firewood Buying Tips

Sounds By Charles P. Lamey FLEETWOOD MAC GUITARIST Llhduey Buckingham * has stepped out on his own to make a solo album and the end result, Law And Order (Asylum) is quite appealing. Buckingham is a tasteful musician. .His guitar placing is straightforward and his 'songwriting emotional and melodic. To top it off he’s got a pleasing voice that is perfect for AM radio. Lindsey Buckingham is destined for the top of the'charts with or without Fleetwood Mao \ MOTORHEAD CONTINUES TO BE one of the more interestihg of the new breed of heavy metal bands. This English trio avoids long, monotonous guitar solos and, concentrates on high energy rhythms. Not much as far as vocals, but then again, it's doubtful Motorheah even thinks about such things. No matter what, their Live (Mercury) album is sure to please heavy metal fans. ' IRELAND'S^ ALREADY MADE one well received album this year and they’ve quickly followed it with Oc tober (Island). U2has a thick, dense sound that depends on intricate guitar playing and dramatic vocals. They write, play, and sing extremely well and October should easily help to expand their dedicated cult following. MADNESS’ THIRD ALBUM, 7 (Stiff) is a snazzy little pop record. Madness plays energetic, infectious tunes. At times, they’ve got a firm base in reggae rhythms and then they might switch to a more soulful sound. What really sets them apart is the fine sax work of Lee Thompson and the organ playing of Mike Barson. Perfect for dancing or chasing the blues away. Madness is a fun group. MARIANNE FAITHFULS COMEBACK album last year was a true gem. This year’s Dangerous Acqualn lances (Island) won’t be regarded as daring or as important as Broken English, but it is a highly listenable platter. Marianne Faithful's raspy voice is full of pain and passion, making every word she sings an important statement. i The material and her musical support is consistent, giving her plenty of freedom torelax and concentrate on singing. Dangerous Acquaintances promises to hold up well to repeated playings and I'm personally looking forward to Marianne's next album.

by James Haase Winter’s cold grasp is ' beginning to take hold and this means staying warm will head the list of priorities for most people. Many homeowners in hopes t>f saving money on heating bills will be using firewood as their home heating fuel. For those who plan to buy and use firewood it’s important to become an educated consumer. Here are seme tips when buying firewood. BY LAW. firewood in New Jersey must be spld by the cord or fraction of a cord. A standard cord is a stack of wood 4x4x8 feet equaling 128 cubic feet. However, the presence of air spaces reduces the 1 wood volume to about 88-90 cubic feet. Be wary of pick-up truck deliveries. Sometimes these may fall short of a full cord. If you have doubts about its true volume, stack the wood before paying for it. You should also be aware that depending on how it is stacked, a cord can have a 5 to 10 percent difference in total volume when restacked, although wood volume remains unchanged. MOISTURE CONTENT is very important because it directly effects heating ability of the wood. Depending on species, seasoned wood can have 10 to 26 percent greater heat (BTU) output than greenwood. Signs of seasoned wood are end checking and gray coForation. • When wood dries it shrinks causing the wood tissue to check or split. Wood exposed to weather-

hasn't been seasoning very long and shouldn't bo purchased. Firewood. takeS anywhere from six months to a year to be properly seasoned: MOLD OR FUNGUS on firewood can indicate the. presence of moisture or pulpiness. Molds and fungus need moisture to groW and by doing so break do<vn the wood structure causing pulpiness • Avoid buying firewood if mold or fungus is visible. Another important consideration is the species of wood. All wood , doesn't have the same density and will produce vatying amounts of heat when burned. High-heat/value .species likp oak will average about 25 million BTU's per cord, whereas, loVv density species, such as white pine, will average only about 13 million BTU’s per cord. SOFTWOOD species like pine are easy to ignite. (Page 20 Please)
